What a busy and wonderful week!


Students are enjoying swimming! Because of our cancelled lesson this week, we rescheduled a new swimming date on Thursday, Oct 3. Please let me know if you can volunteer on that day, by writing a note in your child’s agenda. We leave the school at 10:55 am. We swim next week: Sept 30, Oct 1, Oct 2, and Oct 3.

Our annual Terry Fox run was this morning.  We read a book about Terry Fox and had a good discussion about his goals and purpose. The students had many questions about cancer and cancer research, many sharing about the impact of cancer on their own families and lives.

January Report Cards We certainly hope that report card celebrations are going on this weekend.  Students have worked very hard and should be proud of the work they have done. Science We are exploring the concepts of “Hot and Cold” during our science learning time. Reading a thermometer and comparing temperatures has been part of our learning goals this past week. We will be moving into inquiry experiences where the students will learn how and when temperatures change.  Social Studies We are looking how Calgary has changed over time. We are hearing stories and learning about how missionaries and the N.W.M.P. began to build the city we now know  Mathletics We are practicing addition strategies and learning the place value of numbers. Rehearsing adding and subtracting numbers to 18 at home would be a gift to your child.  Please return your math calendars.   Upcoming dates: Feb. 3-7 - One World Drumming Feb. 11 - Heritage Park Field Trip for Rooms 2 and

February 12, 2020 Heritage Park Field Trip: Our field trip to Heritage Park yesterday was absolutely amazing!  We had the opportunity to explore the homes of the Prince and Thorpe families, who greatly influenced the development of Calgary. We saw hidden staircases, interesting artifacts that we guessed the uses of, and played with toys children had in the past.  We began our time in the one room schoolhouse by riding our ponies to the stable in the school yard. In the schoolhouse we tried cursive writing, learned about Roman numerals and learned about how teachers in the past checked students for sickness before school started.  We’ve often talked about how we would love to travel back in time, and our day at Heritage Park allowed us to do just that. Thank you so very much to all the volunteers who generously shared their day with us, making this great field trip possible. Food Bank Donations: We are collecting donations for the Calgary Food Bank.  Items can be sent
